Is it really 2012?? I can remember sitting in my dad’s living room watching the first Breeders’ Cup in 1984. There was no simulcast wagering in our area, and the ADW explosion had yet to detonate.

BC Juvenile Filly Turf (G2) – 1 mile (turf) – $1 million Winter Memories – 2/2 for James Toner, and this daughter of El Prado should enjoy the turf. 6 wide impressive win in the Ms Grillo, and has a very powerful kick down the lane. Kathmanblu – 3rd off the layoff for Ken McPeek […]
